Neural Information Processing Systems

Large language model (LLM)-powered multi-agent systems (MAS) have demonstrated cognitive and execution capabilities that far exceed those of single LLM agents, yet their capacity for self-evolution remains hampered by underdeveloped memory architectures. Upon close inspection, we are alarmed to discover that prevailing MAS memory mechanisms (1) are overly simplistic, completely disregarding the nuanced inter-agent collaboration trajectories, and (2) lack crosstrial and agent-specific customization, in stark contrast to the expressive memory developed for single agents. To bridge this gap, we introduce G-Memory, a hierarchical, agentic memory system for MAS inspired by organizational memory theory [1], which manages the lengthy MAS interaction via a three-tier graph hierarchy: insight, query, and interaction graphs. Upon receiving a new user query, G-Memory performs bi-directional memory traversal to retrieve both high-level, generalizable insights that enable the system to leverage cross-trial knowledge, and fine-grained, condensed interaction trajectories that compactly encode prior collaboration experiences.



MIRIX: Multi-Agent Memory System for LLM-Based Agents

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Although memory capabilities of AI agents are gaining increasing attention, existing solutions remain fundamentally limited. Most rely on flat, narrowly scoped memory components, constraining their ability to personalize, abstract, and reliably recall user-specific information over time. To this end, we introduce MIRIX, a modular, multi-agent memory system that redefines the future of AI memory by solving the field's most critical challenge: enabling language models to truly remember. Unlike prior approaches, MIRIX transcends text to embrace rich visual and multimodal experiences, making memory genuinely useful in real-world scenarios. MIRIX consists of six distinct, carefully structured memory types: Core, Episodic, Semantic, Procedural, Resource Memory, and Knowledge Vault, coupled with a multi-agent framework that dynamically controls and coordinates updates and retrieval. This design enables agents to persist, reason over, and accurately retrieve diverse, long-term user data at scale. We validate MIRIX in two demanding settings. First, on ScreenshotVQA, a challenging multimodal benchmark comprising nearly 20,000 high-resolution computer screenshots per sequence, requiring deep contextual understanding and where no existing memory systems can be applied, MIRIX achieves 35% higher accuracy than the RAG baseline while reducing storage requirements by 99.9%. Second, on LOCOMO, a long-form conversation benchmark with single-modal textual input, MIRIX attains state-of-the-art performance of 85.4%, far surpassing existing baselines. These results show that MIRIX sets a new performance standard for memory-augmented LLM agents. To allow users to experience our memory system, we provide a packaged application powered by MIRIX. It monitors the screen in real time, builds a personalized memory base, and offers intuitive visualization and secure local storage to ensure privacy.

Upon task execution, the entire hierarchy evolves by assimilating new collaborative trajectories, nurturing the progressive evolution of agent teams. Extensive experiments across five benchmarks, three LLM backbones, and three popular MAS frameworks demonstrate that G-Memory improves success rates in embodied action and accuracy in knowledge QA by up to $20.89\%$ and $10.12\%$, respectively, without any modifications to the original frameworks.

Mem0: Building Production-Ready AI Agents with Scalable Long-Term Memory

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable prowess in generating contextually coherent responses, yet their fixed context windows pose fundamental challenges for maintaining consistency over prolonged multi-session dialogues. We introduce Mem0, a scalable memory-centric architecture that addresses this issue by dynamically extracting, consolidating, and retrieving salient information from ongoing conversations. Building on this foundation, we further propose an enhanced variant that leverages graph-based memory representations to capture complex relational structures among conversational elements. Through comprehensive evaluations on LOCOMO benchmark, we systematically compare our approaches against six baseline categories: (i) established memory-augmented systems, (ii) retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) with varying chunk sizes and k-values, (iii) a full-context approach that processes the entire conversation history, (iv) an open-source memory solution, (v) a proprietary model system, and (vi) a dedicated memory management platform. Empirical results show that our methods consistently outperform all existing memory systems across four question categories: single-hop, temporal, multi-hop, and open-domain. Notably, Mem0 achieves 26% relative improvements in the LLM-as-a-Judge metric over OpenAI, while Mem0 with graph memory achieves around 2% higher overall score than the base configuration. Beyond accuracy gains, we also markedly reduce computational overhead compared to full-context method. In particular, Mem0 attains a 91% lower p95 latency and saves more than 90% token cost, offering a compelling balance between advanced reasoning capabilities and practical deployment constraints. Our findings highlight critical role of structured, persistent memory mechanisms for long-term conversational coherence, paving the way for more reliable and efficient LLM-driven AI agents.


WaferLLM: A Wafer-Scale LLM Inference System

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Emerging AI accelerators increasingly adopt wafer-scale manufacturing technologies, integrating hundreds of thousands of AI cores in a mesh-based architecture with large distributed on-chip memory (tens of GB in total) and ultra-high on-chip memory bandwidth (tens of PB/s). However, current LLM inference systems, optimized for shared memory architectures like GPUs, fail to fully exploit these accelerators. We introduce WaferLLM, the first wafer-scale LLM inference system. WaferLLM is guided by a novel PLMR model (pronounced as "Plummer") that captures the unique hardware characteristics of wafer-scale architectures. Leveraging this model, WaferLLM pioneers wafer-scale LLM parallelism, optimizing the utilization of hundreds of thousands of on-chip cores. It also introduces MeshGEMM and MeshGEMV, the first GEMM and GEMV implementations designed to scale effectively on wafer-scale accelerators. Evaluations show that WaferLLM achieves 200$\times$ better wafer-scale accelerator utilization than state-of-the-art systems. On a commodity wafer-scale accelerator, WaferLLM delivers 606$\times$ faster and 22$\times$ more energy-efficient GEMV compared to an advanced GPU. For LLMs, based on 16-bit data type, WaferLLM achieves 2700 toks/sec/req decode speed on Llama3-8B model and 840 toks/sec/req decode speed on Qwen2-72B model, which enables 39$\times$ faster decoding with 1.7$\times$ better energy efficiency. We anticipate these numbers will grow significantly as wafer-scale AI models, software, and hardware continue to mature.


OPIMA: Optical Processing-In-Memory for Convolutional Neural Network Acceleration

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Recent advances in machine learning (ML) have spotlighted the pressing need for computing architectures that bridge the gap between memory bandwidth and processing power. The advent of deep neural networks has pushed traditional Von Neumann architectures to their limits due to the high latency and energy consumption costs associated with data movement between the processor and memory for these workloads. One of the solutions to overcome this bottleneck is to perform computation within the main memory through processing-in-memory (PIM), thereby limiting data movement and the costs associated with it. However, DRAM-based PIM struggles to achieve high throughput and energy efficiency due to internal data movement bottlenecks and the need for frequent refresh operations. In this work, we introduce OPIMA, a PIM-based ML accelerator, architected within an optical main memory. OPIMA has been designed to leverage the inherent massive parallelism within main memory while performing high-speed, low-energy optical computation to accelerate ML models based on convolutional neural networks. We present a comprehensive analysis of OPIMA to guide design choices and operational mechanisms. Additionally, we evaluate the performance and energy consumption of OPIMA, comparing it with conventional electronic computing systems and emerging photonic PIM architectures. The experimental results show that OPIMA can achieve 2.98x higher throughput and 137x better energy efficiency than the best-known prior work.


Support Vector Machine Implementation on MPI-CUDA and Tensorflow Framework

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm requires a high computational cost (both in memory and time) to solve a complex quadratic programming (QP) optimization problem during the training process. Consequently, SVM necessitates high computing hardware capabilities. The central processing unit (CPU) clock frequency cannot be increased due to physical limitations in the miniaturization process. However, the potential of parallel multi-architecture, available in both multi-core CPUs and highly scalable GPUs, emerges as a promising solution to enhance algorithm performance. Therefore, there is an opportunity to reduce the high computational time required by SVM for solving the QP optimization problem. This paper presents a comparative study that implements the SVM algorithm on different parallel architecture frameworks. The experimental results show that SVM MPI-CUDA implementation achieves a speedup over SVM TensorFlow implementation on different datasets. Moreover, SVM TensorFlow implementation provides a cross-platform solution that can be migrated to alternative hardware components, which will reduces the development time.


Universal Recurrent Event Memories for Streaming Data

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In this paper, we propose a new event memory architecture (MemNet) for recurrent neural networks, which is universal for different types of time series data such as scalar, multivariate or symbolic. Unlike other external neural memory architectures, it stores key-value pairs, which separate the information for addressing and for content to improve the representation, as in the digital archetype. Moreover, the key-value pairs also avoid the compromise between memory depth and resolution that applies to memories constructed by the model state. One of the MemNet key characteristics is that it requires only linear adaptive mapping functions while implementing a nonlinear operation on the input data. MemNet architecture can be applied without modifications to scalar time series, logic operators on strings, and also to natural language processing, providing state-of-the-art results in all application domains such as the chaotic time series, the symbolic operation tasks, and the question-answering tasks (bAbI). Finally, controlled by five linear layers, MemNet requires a much smaller number of training parameters than other external memory networks as well as the transformer network. The space complexity of MemNet equals a single self-attention layer. It greatly improves the efficiency of the attention mechanism and opens the door for IoT applications.


Energy-efficient Task Adaptation for NLP Edge Inference Leveraging Heterogeneous Memory Architectures

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Executing machine learning inference tasks on resource-constrained edge devices requires careful hardware-software co-design optimizations. Recent examples have shown how transformer-based deep neural network models such as ALBERT can be used to enable the execution of natural language processing (NLP) inference on mobile systems-on-chip housing custom hardware accelerators. However, while these existing solutions are effective in alleviating the latency, energy, and area costs of running single NLP tasks, achieving multi-task inference requires running computations over multiple variants of the model parameters, which are tailored to each of the targeted tasks. This approach leads to either prohibitive on-chip memory requirements or paying the cost of off-chip memory access. This paper proposes adapter-ALBERT, an efficient model optimization for maximal data reuse across different tasks. The proposed model's performance and robustness to data compression methods are evaluated across several language tasks from the GLUE benchmark. Additionally, we demonstrate the advantage of mapping the model to a heterogeneous on-chip memory architecture by performing simulations on a validated NLP edge accelerator to extrapolate performance, power, and area improvements over the execution of a traditional ALBERT model on the same hardware platform.
